For the sake of brevity I obviously snipped too much of the post I was
forwarding.  This was not a personal question but one I was passing on in hopes
of receiving some ideas.

Hi Gitte,

I don't know if you remember me, but I'm Nancy C from the August 98 list
way back when.  I just started lurking on XXXX, can't decide if I have the
energy to join in, but I noticed the post about iron.  I have another
daughter now, Frances, who is almost 14 months, and we just had some
bloodwork done on her because she had a mystery illness, and the unexpected
tidbit of info that came back was that her hemoglobin was at 10.2.  She's
primarily breastfed still--I'd say she's getting about 90% of her nutrition
from breastmilk still, not terribly interestedin solid food, and what she
eats--and she's relatively picky--is not extremely iron-rich.

The issue for us is also that we have a lot of lead based paint in our
house.  We're getting ready to do some abatement, starting in about 2
weeks, but Frances also has slightly elevated blood lead levels, and I know
that iron deficiency anemia and lead poisoning can go hand in hand, and low
iron can increase the risks of lead poisoning.  Anyway, my question is,
what do you think about giving Floradix to a 17 pound baby?  And how much
would I give each day?
